Still flying the -200 series? Man, Australian airlines got rid of those
things in the '90's and replaced them with -300's and have since replaced
the replacements with -800's and -900's as well as Embraers. Unbelievable
that aircraft that old are still in commercial service.

Yes, I agree. First Air is an aboriginal run airline and serves Northern
communities in Canada. I guess they were able to get several 200 series 737s
and operate with them as well as a few other types.

Our major carriers have much more modern fleets. Air Canada has a Boeing,
Airbus, Canadair/Bombardier, and Embraer fleet. WestJet is 737s only but
their fleet is very new and is mostly 700s and 800s.
